I sometimes sit the whole day at work, surfing the net and posting on the SY forum.
A friend of mine told me a funny story once, about a friend of his that went for a job interview to work in a shipyard doing odd jobs. He got a contract and was told to go to an area of the harbour and wait for further instructions. He did so, but nobody came. After waiting 2-3 hours, he got bored and looked for something to do. The only thing he could find was a 2 meter long steel pipe, so he picked it up and started walking around with it. That lasted a year... yeah, you heard me... a whole year before somebody noticed that he was doing sweet bugger all. When his boss asked him about it, he answered by saying that noone had given him work to do when he had asked. He was fired on the spot and his wages were reversed. Ha!

I'd die of boredom at work if it wasn't for this forum.

I'm rather good at my job but on days like these it can be a bit tedious.i've pretty much done everything that i needed doing(paperwork wise) and the phone has gone a little quite.Guess what?I was talking to someone related to the late Brian Epstein last week.

when you say his wages were reversed does that mean he had to pay them back?

It did ruin him. He's still paying it off.
He got a lawyer to defend him, but lost the case. Something to do with him not using his own initiative. Ha!

i can't believe he was dumb enough to keep doing it for a year, i mean he was bound to get found out sooner or later. but then his employers were even stupider.

Well, there are lots of people working there and most of them know what to do. They don't see their bosses for months on end and don't need to really. It's very fexible work. The one day you're sweeping dock 51 and the next day you're moving a heep of scrap metal out of dock 12.
Nobody knows eachother on such a large location and that's how he kept it up so long. I personally think he sussed out the situation, saw the opportunity and played stupid! ![]()

Let's be honest. How many of us avoid doing crap tasks at work, when we know someone else will do it?
